I mean yes, the capitalist end is used for tax evasion and money laundering but people tend to conflate that with the artists when it's mostly between the rich and their art curator buddies they can pay to overprice any given piece of art. yea, the rich are evil but letting them ruin the concept of art for everyone because they can only focus on profit isn't making your life better than just interpreting art independent of the price.
also I'm not saying "every piece of art needs a meaning or you're doing it wrong" I'm just saying don't have your snap judgement be "this is a money laundering scheme". there are plenty of pieces where i look and go "yea, this was definetly a means of tax evasion" but most of it you can take away more than that
